Remington 1874 Dated Swedish Rolling Block 11mm Carbine Converted To U.S. Military 50.70 Calibre By J.P Lower Denver Colorado USA. Sn 12242 - 12242The .50-70 Government cartridge became the official cartridge of the US military until replaced by the .45-70 Government in 1873. The Remington Rolling Block rifles and carbines were breech-loading weapons produced from the mid-1860s into the early 20th century by E. Remington and Sons (later Remington Arms Company).
